This is a mini mystery. After you find the place to park all else will be clear although you might be surprised to see where you end up. This will be a ten min. (one way) trip on an uneven logging road and then some bushwhacking.

Find the correct street on the left side of route six (eastbound) in Andover. Drive on this road for seven to eight tenths of a mile to a metal, farm-like gate on the left . It’s possible to park just before the gate, do not block it. You’ll be walking on CT. State land as marked by three blazes in yellow paint near the gate, which indicate a boundary line.

Walk around the gate, going straight with a stone wall on your left. Keep the yellow marked boundary trees and the wall on your left until the wall turns left and then (leaving the wall behind) just follow painted trees until you come to a small stream (which may disappear in dry seasons). Stand at this stream and admire a VERY BIG glacial erratic. Notice a small overhang in the right lower side. Under here, under a flat rock is where this Duc (carved by RTRW) is hiding.

After stamping in (and covering the flat rock with leaves) walk around this monolith and admire some fishy artwork on the other side.
